Although the Ding family and the Li family are both giants in Muyang Town, but in recent years, the contacts are not close, in business, the Ding family monopolizes the refining shop in Muyang Town, and the Li family has no economic contacts, and they are not close on weekdays.

Zu Lin looked at Li Yun with a puzzled expression and said, "Why are they here?"

Li Yun pondered for a moment and looked up at Zu Lin: "Mother, do you still remember what happened when my father took us back to our hometown? ”

Zu Lin fell into the memory, and after a while, it suddenly dawned on him, Ding Feng, the head of the Ding family, was Li Jing's old friend, when he gave birth to Li Fan, his wife also gave birth to a daughter, and later Ding Feng also made a joke with Li Jing that he wanted to marry his daughter to Li Fan, but he didn't expect Li Jing to agree very happily, Li Jing was still a general at that time, how Ding Feng didn't like it, he immediately married this baby with the Li family.

Zu Lin worked hard day and night, how could this matter always be kept in mind, she suddenly smiled, put her hands on Li Fan's shoulders and said: "Fan'er, you must stabilize the key points for a while, and don't lose the courtesy." ”

Zu Lin asked Li Fan to follow her out to greet her, she was happy in her heart, and how satisfied she was with this future daughter-in-law was all written on her face, and now that her prospective in-laws came to visit, she smiled even more.

"Fan'er, Ding Yu, this girl is Lan Xin, and she has been engaged to marry you early, you have to take good control of her. ”

Zu Lin turned around step by step, and when he was about to reach the gate, he specially tidied up Li Fan's clothes before continuing to move forward.

Outside the gate, there are three people standing at this time, and the one on the left is Ding Yu, she is wearing a white gauze skirt, and a silver-white hosta is obliquely hairpinned on her head, decorated with thin silver silk beaded tassels, which set off her slightly powdered cheeks.

Standing on the right is his brother Ding Qingyang, who is holding a folding fan, wearing a yellow-brown robe, and a large tripod painted in ink on his chest.

Standing between them was a thin man, the wrinkles on his face were a true portrayal of his vicissitudes, at this moment he glanced at Ding Qingyang and said: "The most important thing about the way of refining is patience, you don't even have this bit of patience, how can you inherit your father's mantle?"

Ding Qingyang waved away the fan, kept fanning the wind and said, "They are really grinding, have they been ventilating for so long?"

As soon as the words fell, Zu Lin appeared at the gate with Li Fan.

"I don't know that Brother Ding came today, and he missed the distance. ”

"Haha, Mrs. Zu is polite, please come out to greet you in person. ”

Zu Lin glanced at Ding Yu specially, and then said, "Please inside." ”

Everyone turned around and walked towards the Li family hall again, Zu Lin and Ding Feng naturally walked in front, while Li Fan and Ding Yu were in the same row.

Embarrassed, this time Ding Yu spoke first, she looked at Li Fan and smiled softly and said, "How are the injuries on your body doing?"

Li Fan sneered in his heart, if she really had this heart, she would not have stood aside and stood by in the first place, if she stopped it, presumably Xiao Dang's beast would not continue to stir up trouble, Li Fan smiled indifferently and said, "A little injury, it won't get in the way." ”

"Li Fan, it's not good to see that you are white and clean, you must strengthen your exercise. Ding Qingyang smiled sarcastically, and his eyes glanced around: "Not to mention, the Li family's compound is really magnificent, and the maids selected are all smart." ”

At this time, Ding Feng coughed heavily, and Ding Yu hurriedly pulled his brother's sleeve and whispered, "Brother, don't make trouble." ”

Li Fan frowned slightly, speaking of the maid, he suddenly thought of Wanyan, she was still helping to talk a while ago, and suddenly disappeared, Li Fan looked around, muttering in his heart.

Soon after, under Zu Lin's hospitality, they all sat in the hall, Zu Lin sat on the top, and below, Li Yun sat on the left side, Li Fan stood behind Li Yun, Ding Feng sat on the right side, and Ding Yu and Ding Qingyang also stood behind them.

Zu Lin looked at Ding Feng and said with a smile: "I have been very busy with the affairs of the medicine hall all these years, and I haven't been able to find time to visit you. ”

"Haha, why shouldn't I, I boiled a white hair for my refining sect, and I specially took time out to reminisce today. Although Ding Feng looks thin, his cultivation is second to none in Muyang Town, but Ding Feng is very low-key and never shows his edge, which is the opposite of his son Ding Qingyang.

Zu Lin and Ding Feng chatted with each other, and after a while, they talked about Li Jing's year, and this chat was an hour, and the tea was changed several times.

Li Fan sat aside, looking at his future daughter-in-law, I have to say that Ding Yu is indeed as beautiful as a fairy, her eyes look blurry because of her slender and slightly curled eyelashes, and even with a kind of charm, but Ding Yu's every action is very dignified, and she already has the charm of a mature woman at the age of seventeen.

At this time, Ding Qingyang was a little impatient, he closed the fan and knocked lightly on the wooden chair, and coughed along the way, but Ding Feng continued to chat with Zu Lin as if he didn't hear it.

Zu Lin said with a smile: "Yes, how hard it was at the beginning, how can the next generation of people understand." ”

Ding Feng saw that his father was still idle, frowned and gently knocked on the armrest.

It's just that this subtle movement was discovered by Zu Lin: "Years have passed in a hurry, I remember the last time I saw him, he was only so tall, and this time, he has become a talent." ”

Zu Lin smiled and stretched out his hand to measure it.

Ding Feng said: "This kid is impetuous, and he is what I am most worried about." ”

"Fan'er, it's better to be like this, you take Qingyang and Xiaoyu around. "Zu Lin wants to separate them, and then discuss this marriage with Dingfeng.

At this time, Ding Yu, who had been calm, clenched his fist slightly, and then said with a smile: "Dad, don't you have something to say today?"

Ding Qingyang's fan kept inciting, and there was a nest of fire in his heart, and even his tone was a little stiff: "That's right, forget about this business while talking." ”

Li Fan stared at Ding Yu closely, and had already guessed a rough idea in his heart, this family has not crossed paths for several years, the so-called nothing does not go to the Three Treasures Palace, today I came to see it, there must be something still holding in his heart, but this matter must be related to Li Fan, he knows it in his own heart.

Ding Feng was a little dilemma when his son said this, he snorted coldly: "Adults talk, what do children interject, didn't your father teach you etiquette?"

Zu Lin was slightly stunned, looked at Ding Feng with an embarrassed face and asked, "Brother Ding, if you have something, you might as well say it directly, and don't see each other between us." ”

Anyway, he is also a quasi-in-law, and Zu Lin, who can help with something, is of course duty-bound, and Zu Lin's heart has been entangled by two things, one is revenge, and the other is to continue the incense.

However, the eldest son Li Gui has already died on the battlefield, and the second son Li Yun is paralyzed in both legs, and now all hope is on Li Fan, and only Li Fan can open up branches for the Li family.

Ding Feng was hesitant, he wanted to speak and stopped, Ding Qingyang saw his father like this, he directly held the fan and walked to the center of the hall, looked at Zu Lin and said: "Aunt Grandma, since it is inconvenient for my father to say it directly, then I will say it directly." ”

Ding Feng didn't say anything this time, just sighed, and Ding Yu gently put his hand on his father's shoulder, looking at Ding Qingyang.

Zu Lin smiled slowly, looking at Ding Qingyang's tone, she felt that this was not a good thing for a long time, she nodded lightly, and motioned for Ding Feng to continue.

Ding Feng continued: "I'm afraid this matter is related to Li Fan Gongzi, that's the case, a few days ago, Li Fan Gongzi made a bet with someone, as for what he gambled on, Li Fan Gongzi should know it." ”

Ding Feng deliberately looked at Li Fan, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Li Fan snorted coldly, since the sword blade was pointing at him, what was there to retreat, he held his head high, looked directly at Ding Qingyang and said: "Bet with Xiao Dang's bastard, and if you lose, you will break the marriage contract with your Miss Ding Yu, is that so?"

"What are you talking about? You actually bet this with others! You!" Zu Lin's face turned purple and blue, and his heart was full of anger.

Li Fan was helpless, his mother was anxious, this gambling contract was known to her, and there would be good fruits to eat in the future, Li Fan said: "The gambling contract was proposed by Xiao Dang, and Ding Yu was also present at the time, he Xiao Dang humiliated me in front of so many people in the academy, and if I didn't take it, wouldn't it seem that I Li Fan was greedy for life and afraid of death!"

"Good. Ding Qingyang always maintained a weak smile, he looked at Li Fan and said, "As for this result, needless to say, Young Master Li Fan lost to Xiao Dang. ”

Li Fan clenched his fists and was silent.

Speaking of this, Ding Qingyang didn't say any more, everyone knows the meaning behind it, and the purpose of their coming is already obvious, since this is the case, everyone has nothing to hide.

However, this matter could have been picked out directly, but Zu Lin still wanted to redeem it, she looked at Ding Feng and said, "Brother Ding, you came here today, just for this little thing?"

Ding Feng nodded, the position he was in now was very awkward, and he didn't know what to say.

Zu Lin held the armrest, calmed down the excitement in his heart, and said: "How can a child's gambling contract be counted?"

Ding Qingyang clenched his bite, he looked at Zu Lin and said: "Aunt Grandma, Li Fan's son has reached the point of talking about marriage, it should not be small, since he has the courage to take the gambling contract, don't you dare to fulfill it?

Li Fan really couldn't bear it, his eyes were like fire, and his fists were clenched.

"Ding Qingyang, where is your business! Don't worry about Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu just likes to break the contract, what's wrong? Lao Tzu dares to admit that you don't want to make any bullshit gambling about the contract, your Ding family wants to break your promise! Your Ding family wants to violate this marriage contract, just make it clear!"

What Li Fan looks down on the most is the real villain, the Ding family came here today and obviously wanted to break the contract, and they said that they were the same as saints, which was disgusting!
